Peruvian Cacao is widely recognised as a premium origin, prized for the depth and complexity it develops under the region's growing conditions. Our capsules use the same certified organic Peruvian Cacao powder as our powder product — sourced from a single origin rather than blended, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and quality. Cacao naturally contains magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and manganese. However, at 425mg–1,700mg per day, the capsules provide only trace amounts — see the nutritional table below for the exact figures, and our FAQ if you're specifically after a meaningful daily mineral intake from Cacao.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose ours?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeruvian origin — a premium single-origin Cacao.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not blended from multiple countries — sourced specifically from certified organic farms in Peru.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Association certified organic.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every batch independently audited to the UK's most rigorous organic standard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e425mg per capsule — additive-free.\u003c\/strong\u003e No flowing agents, no binders, no fillers — just Cacao powder and an HPMC shell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in-house in Leicestershire.\u003c\/strong\u003e Encapsulated and packed by our small family team in a SALSA-approved facility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan HPMC capsule shell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—p\u003c\/strong\u003elant-derived cellulose, no gelatine, suitable for all diets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlastic-free packaging.\u003c\/strong\u003e Reusable aluminium tin or 100% paper refill pouch — both kerbside recyclable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-GMO, non-irradiated.\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal processing of organic certified Cacao.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to take them\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 2 to 4 capsules daily with water, ideally with food.

Cacao powder is produced without alkalisation, retaining the bean's natural acidity and fuller mineral profile. Conventional cocoa is often Dutch-processed (alkalised), which softens the flavour but alters the natural composition. Our Cacao is not alkalised — it is 100% pure Peruvian \u003cem\u003eTheobroma Cacao\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this raw Cacao?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — like virtually all commercially available Cacao, ours is lightly roasted as part of processing to develop full flavour and ensure food safety. \"Raw Cacao\" is a common marketing term. Still, there's no formal, independently verifiable standard behind it, so we'd rather be upfront about our process than make a claim we can't back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these the same as Cacao tablets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're often searched for as \"Cacao tablets.\" Still, ours are capsules — a two-piece HPMC shell rather than a compressed tablet: same single ingredient inside, just a different, easier-to-swallow format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same Cacao as the powder product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the same certified organic Peruvian Cacao powder, encapsulated for convenience. The difference is format and serving size: the powder delivers 10–15g per day; the capsules deliver 850mg–1,700mg per day depending on which size you choose. The capsules are the everyday supplement option; the powder is the full food ingredient option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo Cacao capsules provide meaningful amounts of magnesium and iron?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly in small amounts. A 4-capsule serving is 1.7g of Cacao, which naturally contains magnesium, iron, phosphorus and manganese — but not enough to be a significant source of any of them on its own. If getting a meaningful daily mineral intake from Cacao matters to you, our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thenaturalhealthmarket.co.uk\/products\/organic-cacao-powder\"\u003eOrganic Cacao Powder\u003c\/a\u003e at a 10–15g serving is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size should I buy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 60-capsule size, at 2 capsules per day, is a gentle starting point for a full month. The 90-capsule size suits a moderate daily intake; the 120-capsule size delivers the highest daily amount and is the best value per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these capsules vegan?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

If you take any prescribed medication or have an existing medical condition, speak to your GP or pharmacist before adding this or any new supplement to your routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the tin and the pouch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reusable aluminium tin is solid, resealable, and built to last. The 100% paper refill pouch contains the same product — letterbox-friendly and designed to be decanted into your tin once empty. Both are plastic-free and kerbside recyclable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I store these capsules?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tin or pouch sealed between uses. Avoid humid environments such as bathrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the cacao beans fermented?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — fermentation is a standard part of how cacao is processed before it's dried and lightly roasted, and that's true of our Peruvian cacao too. It's an essential step in developing cacao's flavour; you won't find commercially available cacao that skips it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the capsules Dutch-processed (alkalised)?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Dutch-processed (alkalised) cacao is treated to soften its flavour, but ours skips that step entirely — it's 100% pure Peruvian cacao powder, unalkalised, keeping its natural acidity and fuller mineral profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat will the capsules help with, and do I still need to eat normal meals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a food supplement, we can't make specific health claims about what they'll help with — if you have a particular health goal in mind, that's best discussed with your GP or pharmacist. What we can say is what's in them: pure organic Peruvian cacao, naturally containing antioxidants along with trace amounts of magnesium, iron and manganese — at 425mg–1,700mg a day, these are genuinely small amounts rather than a significant source of any of them. And yes, keep eating breakfast, lunch and dinner as normal — these are a supplement to a varied, balanced diet, not a replacement for meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlso in our Cacao range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a higher daily serving of the same certified organic Peruvian Cacao, our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thenaturalhealthmarket.co.uk\/products\/organic-cacao-powder\"\u003eOrganic Cacao Powder\u003c\/a\u003e delivers 10–15g per day — ideal for smoothies, baking, and hot chocolate.
